Arrested at Last.

CHICAGO, July 81. Horace G.
Jacques, who several years & at Posey-
vile, Ind, burned his elevator, secured
the insurance and fed without paying of
the farmers from whom he had received
grain, was arrested here to-day. He had
been doing business on the open board OF
trade under the name of Geo. Brown.
The man has made a full confession and
will be taken at once to Poseyville for
trial. His crimes there netted him about
100000. When leaving Indiana Jacques
proceeded to Chico, Gala, and after doing
business went into bankruptcy. He was
accidentally noticed OIL the board by a
farmer from Poseyville, who quietly in.
formed the police. jacques says his ele.
vator, although apparently bursting with
grain on the night OF the fire, contained
only a few hundred bushels skillfully dis,
trlbuted over the board near the tops OF
the bins. Before setting fire to the es.
adjustment he so fixed the doors that in
gress was impossible.

Mr.. GascOigne at the Spindle-legged chequer-
topped table. 1t was about nine o'clock
then, and we played for an hour and half,
while our conversation was limited entirely
to the technicalitieS of the game. | soon
learned that Mr.. GascOigne did not approve
of word being spoken to interrupt the pro-
gress of play, and l soon discovered also
that he was remarkably good player, and
that he devoted himself to the game with an
eager intensity l had never seen equalled.

forgot it was simply game. He played as
if all else were Indifferent, and this the
great game Of life. AS we played the second
match, l noticed he invested the pieces with
distinct personalities, and seemed even to
cherish personal spite against some which
he would sacrifice to blind me and forward
his designs.
/ had learned from my brother, and had
had games now and again with old friends
and with Lady Fenwick; but l was not
equal to the task of meeting an antagonist
such as Mr.. Gascoigne. The earnestness
with which he devoted himself to the game,
the vindictive eagerness with which he
waged the imaginary warfare, half startled
me; and yet won, simply because he chose
to throw away knight rather than with it
mate my king.
THAT will do for tonight" he said then.
''You have beaten me, Miss ThOrne; but l
will do better next time. You'll be a good
player with plenty of practice. Good night"

PEKIN, ILL.,, April 2S.--A petition has
been laid before the commissioners to
fence up the roads leading to Circleville,
this county, and obliterate it as town.
Three farmers own the land on which the
remnant of the once busy village stands,
and they hope to lessen their taxes by
wiping out the town. Circlevlle was laid
out in 1887, and is one of the oldest towns in
the county. AT one time it was the lead

their stolen property to Circleville. The
gang was finally broken up, the distillery

Curious Statistics Regarding the publica-
ton and Sale of the Work.
HARTFORD, Conn, April 29-During the
Grant memorial exercises On Wednesday
night the following curious statistics in re-
gard to the manufacture of the personal
Memoirs of General Grant" were read:
In binding the cloth books there was Al $50
square yards of cloth used, or if put in one
piece it would make a strip one yard wide
and twenty-five and one-ffth miles
long The gold used in stamping, letter
ing etc., on all styles of binding, if coined,
would make S15,44647 The price paid the
goldbeaters for this gold was 81 $3.50. There
was 276 barrels of binder paste used, weigh
ing about $4,000 pounds. There were q, 1882
sheepskins used, 1921 goatskins and 1873 calf
skins. AS none of these skins was split, it rep
resents, of course, the killing of an equal num-
Der of animals.
There was about 302, $40 reams of paper used
in the printing, which weighed about 1915, $3.50
pounds or $685. tons. This put into one piece
would make strip two feet wide and 1929
miles long. If the books were piled up in one
row the narrowest way, that is, the same as
they would stand in bookcase, it would
take shelf nineteen and one-half miles long to
hold them. If the pages of the books were
joined together it.would make strip of paper
six inches wide and 6,7291a miles long. Forty
one steam presses were working day and night,
over 1000 operatives were employed, and over
1900 agents engaged in distributing the book.
